Opinion by Paul Waldman: Why Republicans are excited about a culture war they know they’re losing
Republicans pounced, putting same-sex marriage at the top of the political agenda. That year, 11 states held referendums to outlaw same-sex marriage; all 11. There was talk of a constitutional amendment, and Republicans were positively blissful about the political benefit they reaped by activating what everyone started calling “values voters” .marriage equality in 2015. None of the societal breakdown conservatives predicted came to pass once gay couples were allowed to marry.
So don’t be surprised if Republicans look at how they continue to lose the fight over public opinion on culture war issues and decide that it’s all the more urgent to deploy those issues this November and in 2024. If history is any guide, it could work. For a while, anyway.
